Welcome to
the Fisheries and Illinois Aquaculture Center, a research center for
both freshwater and marine fisheries science in the
Graduate School &
Office of the Vice Chancellor for
Research at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. We serve
the university, region, state, and nation as a teaching and research
facility with fish ecologists, geneticists, culturists, toxicologists,
and physiologists among our ranks. All faculty have joint
appointments in the Department of
Zoology in the College of
Science. We also have strong ties with
Animal
Sciences and
Forestry
in the College of Agricultural
Sciences.
Visit SIUC's
Perspectives magazine for an overview of the history of our research
program. Southern Illinois is a great location for fisheries, fish
biology, and aquatic research, with many lakes, streams, and rivers in
which to
work.
Our students
participate in extramurally funded fish and fisheries-related research
and also are active professionally in national and international
societies. This training is critical for developing future
generations of fisheries scientists, with an emphasis on the management
and conservation of fisheries and aquatic resources. Our students
leave our program with a solid conceptual background, practical
experience, and critical thinking skills.
Please
surf our site and provide us with comments. We hope that
you enjoy your visit and perhaps learn something about fish, fisheries
and aquaculture on the way.
